According to initial reports from the Pakistan Meteorological Department, the earthquake had a magnitude of 4.3 on the Richter scale. The tremor’s underground depth was recorded at 200 kilometres, with the epicentre near the Tajikistan border.
Despite the earthquake's intensity, there have been no reports of casualties or damage to property from any part of the capital or its neighbouring regions.
In the aftermath of the earthquake, people left their homes in panic and started reciting verses from the Holy Quran. Meanwhile, no loss of life or property was reported from any part of the capital due to the earthquake.
